Abstract
A inteligência emocional (IE) tem vindo a ser identificada pela literatura como um
recurso pessoal importante na promoção de um funcionamento adaptativo no Ensino
Superior e na prevenção de sintomatologia clínica, como o stress. Recentemente, tem
sido relacionada com o desenvolvimento de carreira, sendo apontada como um fator
protetor em momentos de transformações de carreira. No entanto, são ainda poucos os
estudos que consideram o papel da IE em constructos e resultados de carreira, como a
adaptabilidade de carreira e a empregabilidade percebida, em momentos de transição,
nomeadamente do Ensino Superior para o mercado de trabalho. Assim, este estudo
procurou responder a algumas destas lacunas e compreender a influência de variáveis
pessoais e contextuais nestas dimensões e as relações entre a IE, a adaptabilidade de
carreira, o stress percebido e a empregabilidade percebida, em estudantes finalistas
que preparam a sua transição para o mercado de trabalho. Participaram neste estudo
241 estudantes (Midade = 22.68, DP = 5.09; 64.3 % do género feminino e 35.7% do
género masculino), do último ano de licenciatura e mestrado integrado. Os resultados
sugerem a influência de variáveis sociodemográficas (i.e., género e escolaridade dos
pais) e de percurso dos estudantes (i.e., área de formação e experiência prévia de
trabalho) nas variáveis em estudo. Por outro lado, foi possível testar e identificar
relações significativas entre a IE, a adaptabilidade de carreira, o stress percebido, e a
empregabilidade percebida, interna e externa. Discute-se a importância da IE e dos
recursos de adaptabilidade na gestão da transição de estudantes finalistas do Ensino
Superior.
Emotional Intelligence (EI) has been identified by literature as an important personal resource in the promotion of adaptative functioning in Higher Education, in addition to the prevention of clinical symptomatology, such as stress. Recently, it has been linked to career development and is particularly regarded as a protective factor in moments of career transition. However, there are still few studies that consider the role of EI in career constructs and outcomes, such as career adaptability and perceived employability, in moments of transition, for example, from Higher Education to the job market. This study aimed to address such limitations and explore the role of personal and contextual factors on these dimensions and understand the relation between EI and career adaptability, perceived stress, and perceived employability, in students that are preparing the transition to the job market. Participants were 241 students (Mage = 22.68, SD = 5.09; 64.3% women and 35.7% men), in their final year of their Bachelor's or integrated Master's degree. The results suggest the influence of social-demographic variables (i.e., gender and parents’ educational background) and students’ academic trajectories (i.e., academic field and prior work-related experiences) in the studied variables. On the other hand, the findings identified significant relations between EI, career adaptability, perceived stress, and perceived (internal and external) employability. We discuss the importance of EI and adaptability resources to navigate the transition of senior students from Higher education to the job market.
